Site moderators & 50+ word titles
« on: July 02, 2006, 05:56:31 PM »
To the editors or moderators of this group.


Why the initial message is allowed to have a title with more than 50 characters BUT the response is limited to below 50 .


It would be natural that the response should be allowed to be inserted with the same length of the initial message.


Can anyone inform on this discrepancy ?.

Editors Note;


This has been explained before. Most folks get in trouble when someone uses ["] "quotes" in a title. We usually try to filter them from titles of stories but if someone puts them in a comment there is nothing we can do to edit the comment to prevent that 50 character limit deal on replies.


See? Clear as concrete.


So, if you make sure your reply has no quotes in it and is under 50 characters it should be a non issue. Scoop seems to simply truncate long titles unless they have quotes.
